“To control a computer game with my thoughts? Sounds exciting.” That’s what Pascal Prietl thought, when a doctor asked him in a rehabilitation center. “After the first contact with the team, we really got going. Since March 2019, I have been training with the team regularly at the university or at my home,” recounts the Austrian. “First we tried out different paradigms to find the right mental tasks for me. We have a lot of fun as a team, our relationship is great. And it's great fun to play the game!" Thirteen years ago, Pascal had a traffic accident and since then is paralyzed from his neck down. "The doctors' prognosis regarding independent breathing, motor function and sensory perception was not promising. I’m very happy I can say today that my recovery compared to my first diagnosis was excellent – as a result, I have gained more independence in everyday life".
